syzygy Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Toughest choice for me so far. I love them both! Reluctantly went with the cent because I don't see them too often in that condition. But I love the half too. I want them both!!! AEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

Tiffibunny Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Gosh that's a hard decision, but the toning on the 50c swayed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 One of the hardest I've had to face. Copper, of course, won in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldFartte Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Tough call, but I went with the copper ... 'cause I really love old copper. Both are VERY nice coins, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlueke Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Bust halves have long been my favorite US denomination and that's a nice one. Is that natural toning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpnyc Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Actually, I don't see what's so hard about this choice. I had to vote against my own coin. That half is just awesome! That's a dancing banana coin if I ever saw one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bustchaser Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Voted the way most people would have expected me to vote...that said, I really like the cent also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 This one was a tough one! I have so little early copper experience, but that cent is terrific. But, I had to vote for my own, after all I'd better like it since I own it! As for the toning, yes it is natural, most likely from a Wayte Raymond album and decades of storage!
